I have a very small frame but I wear a 32E. I can never find a sports bra that fits me correctly. I have tried on a few that would fit, but the straps always end up being way too long for my body frame. I've never found one with adjustable or extra short straps. It's very frustrating because I usually just end up wearing a regular bra with a sports bra over it which isn't very comfortable and it looks silly.

I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for petite girls with large busts.

When you say you have a very small frame and wear a 32E, that worries me, because the band size is dependent on your frame size. The band size should be very close to your underbust measurement, if not exactly your underbust measurement. Listen to otterhugs and measure/fit yourself first. The band size (32) is dependent on your frame (not your boob size), so I'm guessing you might be a 28FF or G.

The Shock Absorber Max Support sports bra is the only one that comes to mind.

I'm 5' and usually am fine in bras that have fully adjustable straps, but some partially adjustable straps are too long for me. The Panache sports bra is also good, but you will have to shorten the straps, or always use the racerback connector. The Freya non-underwired is really tall in the underarm, so the armhole gets way too small if you try to take in the straps. I haven't tried the Freya underwired sports bra because I'm sized out of it.

If you do measure 32E, check out Moving Comfort, especially the Maia. They are more affordable than Panache (which I also really like) and most shock absorbers, but they give me a lot of support. The Maia is underwired, so it keeps my girls separated during a run, and mine have held up really well. I think E is the largest cup they go to, but I would actually order one cup size down from your regular size if you want to try them.

If you just list your size it doesn't mean much to us here, because there are so many different ways to find out your size, and most of them are very inaccurate. Its always a good question to ask to anyone that comes here that isn't specific about how they found their size. If we don't know if she's been fitted correctly we can't rule out that maybe she's just in the wrong size. =)

First, as others have suggested, I would recommend measuring yourself if you haven't already. It's unlikely that a small-framed woman would wear a 32 band size unless she's quite tall.

As for recommendations, check out the Panache sports bra. The straps are not fully adjustable, but I think it'll do the trick: I'm 5'1" and I only have to tighten them halfway. And if the straps are still too long, there is a hook for you to make the bra a razorback! It's really handy and I think would work for you. All the bras sold by Bravissimo will have adjustable straps, actually, so I'd suggest having a look around (but order from a U.S. site).

If your true size is genuinely a 32E, you have plenty of less 'exotic' options to choose from. Check out Athleta and Title Nine, who will both have a number of adjustable sports bras in a 32E. All of my suggestions have been quite pricy, but especially with sports bras you pay for quality, and you only need 1-3 so I think it's worth it.

First: measure yourself according to the MWB guide in the sidebar if you haven't already

Second: I recently found these at Target. They have adjustable straps and they do a damn good job of keeping my boobs in place. I'd say they're just short of compression bras, but they are still super comfy. While I'm not petite I am a 34 E (UK) and I love these. I wouldn't recommended them for everyday use though, they do kinda push my breast tissue mu under my armpits.

You might need to get comfortable with altering your sports bras to shorten the straps. I don't know any specific brands that would alter well, but it might be something to look for when/if you try on bras in store.
